  About Michael Foster 

MF

I was born in Hastings and have lived here all my life. Before becoming MP in 1997, I worked as a solicitor specialising in employment law. I'm married to Rosemary and we have two sons and four young grandchildren.

I have been active in local politics since my early twenties, serving as a councillor for many years both at borough and county level. I have been proud to have the privilege of representing Hastings and Rye in Parliament over the past eight years.

As MP I have also served on the Standards and Privileges Committee and as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Attorney General. Currently I am serving on the Select Committee for Works and Pensions. I am a member of the Christian Socialists and the Society of Labour Lawyers. My particular political interests are pensioners issues, child poverty and animal welfare.

When I have free time I enjoy playing tennis and table tennis. I am Secretary of the All Party Tennis Group and Chairman of the All Party Table Tennis Group in Parliament.
